About

On this month’s feature of Innovator Insights, join us for an intimate conversation with Lila Tretikov, Head of AI Strategy at NEA and former Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation. We’ll explore how intelligence—both human and machine—is reshaping the systems we live, build, and invest in. This salon will unpack how strategic thinking, ethical design, and technological fluency converge to shape the next era of innovation. Lila will share insights from her diverse career journey across open-source movements and venture capital, offering a rare perspective on how AI is not just a tool but a transformative force requiring thoughtful stewardship.

This conversation is ideal for founders, investors, technologists, creatives, and systems thinkers who are navigating the evolving intersections of AI, ethics, and leadership. Attendees will come away with a deeper understanding of how to approach AI as a strategic layer, not just a technical one; how values and vision shape innovation at scale; and how to make sense of complexity when designing for the future.
